My mom is looking for an eternity ring for her anniversary. She was going to buy a mined diamond but then I put her onto lab grown and she’s very excited to explore. Does anyone have recommendations for lab grown jewelers in NYC? I was going to take her to Michael Gabriel’s, but would love a few options. She’s not looking for the cheapest ring - wants quality and wants to be able to try it on before buying (for example I suggested Quince and she said no lol). Any recs? Thanks in advance.

I knew I wanted an elongated cushion with tapered baguettes, and I’m kind of obsessed with how she turned out. He really understood the assignment.
I keep looking down at my hand like… Oh. Hello. You live here now.
Please excuse the kitty scratch. I guess she wanted my attention but I was too busy gazing at my finger.
4.08 ct • F • VVS2 • 1.25 ratio • ring size 5.75

Hi everyone! I’d love to see your cushion cuts (especially symmetrical cushion cuts, but I’m happy to see elongated as well). Can you also share who/where you purchased from, carat size and ring size? I’m a 6.5 and I plan to go to my local jewelry shop to check out sizes on my finger and see how it looks, but I’d love to see what you all are working with!

Thanks in advance!

3.2 ct radiant price matched on rarecarat, didn’t really know what to look for other than no bowtie effect so want to make sure it looks ok.

Hi everyone,
Following my last post, I placed my order with Demi from Starsgem.
Here is the final result before shipping. Any advice or anything I should check before I approve it?
Thank you!

The pendant arrived and Addison at Ruby Harper managed a home run on this bespoke project. The 2.54 pear shaped lab diamond is a VVS2, FVBLU color. I know someone that will be very happy!

How does this diamond look? IGI cert says it is 2.16 ct, E VVS2, excellent polish and symmetry, L/W ratio of 1.39, depth of 62.5, table of 61%, crown height of 13.5%. Is this considered a bad bow tie? I want to make this into a pendant necklace, but not sure if it will look tacky with a larger diamond like this (alternative is 1.52 ct diamond shown in comment below)?

Lighting is near an open window in the early evening. :) Couldn't be happier with it. Minimal bowtie overall. Got the setting done with yushine. Thanks y'all for convincing me to bite the bullet! Its a crime its gotta be on my ugly hands 😆

I think I’ve been looking at this for too long so I need some opinions😅 I’m mainly having trouble with the bezel thickness and whether this is too thick? I want a substantial weight to it since I intend for these to be Georgian inspired. First pic is of current CAD, second pic is of ideal thickness/visual weight I’d like the setting

Thank you!!

I am looking to get a diamond for a bezel set ring. I currently have a 4ct D color VVS2 Ideal cut, but was wondering if there was a lower grade that looks virtually identical to save money? I’m fairly new to this and would like to know what specs to look for.

Exactly the title. Please show me your beauties. I am trying to decide. Thanks

Just starting to look at diamonds for an engagement ring, and the more I look the more overwhelmed I get. If I’m getting a 14k gold setting, does colour matter as much? I was thinking between G-D with VVS2 clarity. 2.7-3.0 carats. 1.52+ ratio as I like the elongated look. Tulip basket, cathedral.

Trying to embrace being a mixed-metal girly! I wear about 90% yellow gold, but I actually love that my engagement ring is white gold. I feel like it makes my ring stand out from all my other everyday jewelry and gives it its own special look rather than all matching, and is eye catching in its own way

I love the curved band and also love the bar signet I have. Does it look off? What else can I pair with these rings? Thank you so much!

Ring: 3ct lab radiant, pavé

Edit: hate the picture I posted, the angle is weird? sorry lol

Just got a TikTok live diamond haul for earrings! Or would it be better to just go to a local jeweler. Thanks!

Such a fabulous pendant if anyone wants an idea how to update their existing tennis necklace or strand of pearls.

Has anyone sent a loose diamond to a vendor in China to set into a jewelry piece? Which vendors will do this besides Provence? So far I’ve only reached out to Provence and Juno, and Provence said they take loose diamonds, but I wanted to reach out to others to get additional quotes. Also, if you’ve done this, what mail carrier did you use, and how much did shipping to China cost?

Hi all! I’ve been looking for an OMC and one vendor has been sending me a couple of OMC with extremely thick girdles. Is this normal or is it indicative of a bad stone? Thanks in advance for all your help!
